Feeling Out of Place in My Friend Group I’m currently navigating high school and find myself in a large friendship circle.

It’s totally normal to feel that way! A lot of people struggle with starting conversations. One approach that can help is to ask open-ended questions about topics you know the other person is interested in. This not only gives you something to talk about but also encourages them to share more, which can help keep the conversation going. You can also share your own experiences or thoughts related to the topic at hand to create a back-and-forth dialogue.
If you’re looking for specific topics, you might try asking about their favorite movies, books, or hobbies. You could also share something interesting that happened to you recently. Remember, it’s all about practice! The more you engage, the easier it will become over time. Plus, people usually appreciate someone who shows genuine interest in them. Don’t be too hard on yourself; you’re not alone in this!
